    Unhappy How to match desert cammies

    I've recently had several superiors point out that my blouse and trousers do not match as my each of my desert blouses are lighter than the trousers. Is there a way to lighten my trousers so that they will match a little more closely without having to suck it up and buy a new blouse? Everywhere I've searched online has given me "stop trying to look salty, boot" or "don't bleach them". I'm approaching my EAS in just a couple months and would prefer not to have to spend any more on uniforms if possible. Any help is appreciated.

    Maybe you could take a cruise to where ever, tie a rope on them and hang over the side. Dont leave them more than about 3 minutes, or you will pull up nothing but shreaded cammies.

    Fair enough. Looks like the only element I'm missing is a ship or a tank.

    DO NOT BLEACH!!!! Could go to a laundry place and use rock salt instead of soap and see what it does. The effect you desire my man is stone washed. Try a dry cleaner place see if they got any help. Ohh!! Better yet... you could also try a commercial place like Cintas and see if they could help. They've got VERY hot water that'l along with the soap they use fade "normal" clothes fast. Might cost you more scratch than its worth. DO NOT TRY THE I'M ABOUT TO EEAS CRAP!!!!!!!!! I got out in the middle of an ORI and NOOOO you WILL be squared away & I DONT CARE IF YOU PLAN ON LIVING I A BINJO DITCH. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYOU GOT THAT MARINE??????????
